Outline of Final Research Achievements |
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are severe DNA damage that can be caused by anti-cancer drug to kill cancer cells. Camptothecin (CPT) causes DSB via DNA replication in growing cells. However, cellular responses to DNA replication-mediated DSB (RM-DSB) had not been revealed. In this study, we analyzed regulatory mechanisms of RM-DSB repair pathway and discovered that UbcH5c, a E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, is involved in NHEJ pathway of RM-DSB repair leading to chromosomal aberration.
